Insights into star formation and dispersal from the synchronization of stellar clocks

N Miret-Roig, J Alves, D Barrado, A Burkert… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Age is one of the most fundamental parameters of a star, yet it is one of the hardest to
determine as it requires modelling various aspects of stellar formation and evolution. When …

Stellar populations in STARFORGE: the origin and evolution of star clusters and associations

JP Farias, SSR Offner, MY Grudić… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Most stars form in highly clustered environments within molecular clouds, but eventually
disperse into the distributed stellar field population. Exactly how the stellar distribution …

Early evolution and three-dimensional structure of embedded star clusters

C Cournoyer-Cloutier, A Sills, WE Harris… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We perform simulations of star cluster formation to investigate the morphological evolution of
embedded star clusters in the earliest stages of their evolution. We conduct our simulations …

[HTML][HTML] How Gaia sheds light on the Milky Way star cluster population

T Cantat-Gaudin, L Casamiquela - New Astronomy Reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
Star clusters are among the first celestial objects catalogued by early astronomers. As
simple and coeval populations, their study has been instrumental in charting the properties …

Ionized carbon as a tracer of the assembly of interstellar clouds

N Schneider, L Bonne, S Bontemps, S Kabanovic… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Molecular hydrogen clouds are a key component of the interstellar medium because they
are the birthplaces for stars. They are embedded in atomic gas that pervades the interstellar …

Star cluster formation and feedback in different environments of a Milky Way-like galaxy

AA Ali, CL Dobbs, TJR Bending… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
It remains unclear how galactic environment affects star formation and stellar cluster
properties. This is difficult to address in Milky Way-mass galaxy simulations because of …

Observational bias and young massive cluster characterization − II. Can Gaia accurately observe young clusters and associations?

ASM Buckner, T Naylor, CL Dobbs… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Observations of clusters suffer from issues such as completeness, projection effects,
resolving individual stars, and extinction. As such, how accurate measurements and …

CLusters in the Uv as EngineS (CLUES). II. Subkiloparsec-scale Outflows Driven by Stellar Feedback

M Sirressi, A Adamo, M Hayes… - The Astronomical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the far-ultraviolet (1130− 1770 Å rest frame) spectroscopy of 20 young (< 50
Myr) and massive (> 10 4 M⊙) star clusters (YSCs) in 11 nearby star-forming galaxies. We …

Revisiting galactic disk and spiral arms using open clusters

YC Joshi, S Malhotra - The Astronomical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We use the largest catalog of open clusters in the post-Gaia era to provide an observational
view of the Galactic disk. By compiling physical parameters such as age, distance, and …

Peculiarities of Open Star Clusters with High Vertical Velocities from the Region of the Sco–Cen OB Association

VV Bobylev, AT Bajkova - Astronomy Letters, 2023 - Springer
We have studied the kinematics of a unique sample of young open star clusters (OSCs) with
high vertical velocities, km s. The characteristics of these clusters were taken from the …
